Egg Films’ New Year’s resolution was to avoid any one-night stands in 2016 (with the possible exception of their Loeries party). So far, so good, with three campaigns already flighting this year, after second, third and fifth dates respectively with repeat clients Careers24, Standard Bank and Wimpy.

Slim has now directed eight Standard Bank ads in four years for TBWA\Hunt\Lascaris; Dani Hynes has helmed six Wimpy ads for FCB in three years; and Terence Neale has crafted five Careers24 spots in a year for Ogilvy Cape Town.

“Building a reel is one thing but building trust and relationships that last is another,” says Colin Howard, Egg Films’ managing director and executive producer. “Getting asked out again and again is a good sign our directors are marriage material.”
